1 ¶ Furthermore, David, the king, said unto all the congregation, Only Solomon, my son, has God chosen; he is young and tender, and the work is great, for the palace is not for man, but for the LORD God.

I mea ano a Kingi Rawiri ki te whakaminenga katoa, Ko taku tama, ko Horomona, ko te mea kotahi i whiriwhiria nei e te Atua, he tamariki ia, he mea ngawari, he nui hoki te mahi; ehara hoki i te whare mo te tangata; engari mo Ihowa, mo te Atua.

2 N ow I have prepared with all my might for the house of my God, gold for the things of gold, and silver for the things of silver, and brass for the things of brass, and iron for the things of iron, and wood for the things of wood; onyx stones, and stones to be set, black stones and of different colours, and all manner of precious stones, and marble stones in abundance.

Na kua whakapaua nei e ahau oku uaua ki te mahi mea mai mo te whare o toku Atua, te koura mo nga mea koura, te hiriwa mo nga mea hiriwa, te parahi mo nga mea parahi, te rino mo nga mea rino, te rakau mo nga mea rakau, nga kohatu onika, nga kohatu e whakanohoia ana, nga kohatu kanapa, me nga mea kakano whakauru, nga kohatu utu nui katoa, me nga kohatu mapere, tona tini.

3 M oreover, because I have my delight in the house of my God, I have in my own treasury, gold and silver, which I have given to the house of my God, over and above all that I have prepared for the house of the sanctuary:

Tenei ano etahi, he pai tonu hoki noku ki te whare o toku Atua: naku ake tenei, he koura, he hiriwa ka hoatu nei mo te whare o toku Atua, hei tapiri mo nga mea katoa kua oti nei i ahau te mahi mai mo te whare tapu,

4 t hree thousand talents of gold, of the gold of Ophir, and seven thousand talents of refined silver, to overlay the walls of the houses;

Ata, e toru mano taranata koura, no te koura o Opira, e whitu mano taranata hiriwa, he mea parakore, hei kopaki mo nga taha o nga whare:

5 t he gold for things of gold, and the silver for things of silver, and for all manner of work to be made by the hands of the workmen. And who then is willing to consecrate the offering of his hands today unto the LORD?

Ko te koura mo nga mea koura, ko te hiriwa mo nga mea hiriwa, mo nga mea katoa, e mahia e nga ringa o nga kaimahi. Na ko wai e hihiko ana inaianei ki te tapae i a ia ma Ihowa?

6 T hen the princes of the fathers and princes of the tribes of Israel, and the princes of thousands and of hundreds, with the rulers of the king’s work, offered willingly

Na hihiko tonu nga rangatira o nga whare o nga matua, me nga rangatira o nga iwi o Iharaira, nga rangatira o nga mano, o nga rau, ratou ko nga rangatira o te mahi a te kingi.

7 a nd gave for the service of the house of God five thousand talents of gold and ten thousand daily wages and ten thousand talents of silver and eighteen thousand talents of brass and one hundred thousand talents of iron.

A homai ana e ratou mo te mahi ki te whare o te Atua he koura e rima mano taranata, tekau mano tarami, he hiriwa kotahi tekau mano taranata, he parahi kotahi tekau ma waru mano taranata, he rino kotahi rau mano taranata.

8 A nd each one gave the precious stones that they had to the treasure of the house of the LORD, into the hand of Jehiel, the Gershonite.

Na, ko te hunga i kitea nei ki a ratou he kohatu pai, homai ana e ratou ki roto ki nga taonga o te whare o Ihowa, ara ki te ringa o Tehiere Kerehoni.

9 T hen the people rejoiced to have offered willingly because with perfect heart they offered willingly to the LORD. Likewise, David the king rejoiced with great joy

Na ka koa te iwi, i a ratou i hihiko nei ki te tapae noa; he tapatahi hoki te ngakau i hihiko ai ratou ki ta Ihowa, mahi: nui atu hoki te koa i koa ai a Kingi Rawiri.

10 ¶ and blessed the LORD before all the congregation; and David said, Blessed be thou, LORD God of Israel our father, for ever and ever.

Na ka whakapai a Rawiri i a Ihowa i te tirohanga a te whakaminenga katoa. I mea a Rawiri, Kia whakapaingia koe, e Ihowa, e te Atua o to matou matua, o Iharaira, he mea no tua whakarere a ake tonu atu.

11 T hine, O LORD, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the honour, for all things in the heavens and in the earth are thine; thine is the kingdom, O LORD, and thou art exalted as head above all.

Nou hoki, e Ihowa, te nui, te mana, te kororia, te wikitoria, te honore; nou nga mea katoa i te rangi, i te whenua; nou te rangatiratanga, e Ihowa; he tiketike noa ake hoki koe, hei upoko mo te katoa.

12 T he riches and the glory are before thee, and thou dost reign over all, and in thy hand is power and might and in thy hand the greatness and the strength of all things.

Nau nga taonga, me te honore, ko koe hoki hei kingi mo te katoa; kei tou ringa te kaha me te mana; ma tou ringa ano e homai te nui, te kaha, mo te katoa.

13 N ow, therefore, our God, we thank thee, and praise thy glorious name.

Na, tenei matou, e to matou Atua, te whakawhetai nei ki a koe, te whakamoemiti nei ki tou ingoa kororia.

14 B ut who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able to offer so willingly after this sort? For all things come of thee and of thine own have we given thee.

Ko wai oti ahau, a he aha toku iwi, i whai kaha ai matou, i penei ai te hihiko? nau hoki te katoa, nou ano hoki ta matou ka hoatu nei ki a koe.

15 F or we are strangers before thee, and sojourners, as were all our fathers; our days on the earth are as a shadow, and there is no other hope.

He manene hoki matou i tou aroaro, he noho noa iho, he pera me o matou matua; rite tonu ki te atarangi o matou ra i runga i te whenua; kahore hoki he tuturutanga.

16 O LORD our God, all this store that we have prepared to build thee a house for thy holy name comes of thy hand and is all thy own.

E Ihowa, e to matou Atua, ko tenei puranga katoa kua pae nei i a matou hei hanga i tetahi whare mou, mo tou ingoa tapu, na tou ringa enei, nau hoki te katoa.

17 I know also, my God, that thou dost try the heart, and hast pleasure in uprightness. As for me, in the uprightness of my heart I have willingly offered all these things; and now have I seen with joy that thy people, who are present here, have given willingly unto thee.

E mohio ana hoki ahau, e toku Atua, e whakamatauria ana te ngakau e koe, e manako ana hoki koe ki te tika. Ko ahau nei, he tika toku ngakau i meatia noatia mai ai e ahau enei mea katoa; a tenei ahau te koa nei i toku kitenga i tau iwi i konei e hihiko ana ki tau mahi.

18 O LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, our fathers, keep for ever this purpose in the thoughts of the heart of thy people and prepare their heart unto thee.

E Ihowa, e te Atua o Aperahama, o Ihaka, o Iharaira, o o matou matua, kia mau tenei ake nei, ake nei, i roto i nga tokonga ake o nga whakaaro o te ngakau o tau iwi, whakaangahia hoki o ratou ngakau ki a koe.

19 L ikewise, give unto Solomon, my son, a perfect heart, to keep thy commandments, thy testimonies, and thy statutes, and to do all these things, and to build the palace, for which I have made provision.

Ki taku tama hoki, ki a Horomona, homai he ngakau tapatahi, kia puritia ai e ia au whakahau, au whakaaturanga, au tikanga, kia oti katoa i a ia; kia hanga hoki te whare, mo reira nei nga mea kua pae nei i ahau.

20 T hen David said to all the congregation, Now bless the LORD your God. And all the congregation blessed the LORD God of their fathers and bowed down and worshipped before the LORD and the king.

Na ka mea a Rawiri ki te whakaminenga katoa, Tena, whakapaingia a Ihowa, to koutou Atua. Na kei te whakapai te whakaminenga katoa ki a Ihowa, ki te Atua o o ratou matua, tuohu ana ratou, piko ana ki a Ihowa, ki te kingi hoki.

21 A nd they sacrificed sacrifices unto the LORD and offered burnt offerings unto the LORD, on the next day, even a thousand bullocks, a thousand rams, and a thousand lambs, with their drink offerings, and sacrifices in abundance for all Israel.

I patu whakahere ano ratou ki a Ihowa, i whakaeke i nga tahunga tinana ki a Ihowa i te aonga ake o taua ra; kotahi mano puru, kotahi mano hipi toa, kotahi mano reme, me nga ringihanga, me nga patunga tapu, tona tini, hei mea mo Iharaira katoa.

22 A nd they ate and drank before the LORD on that day with great gladness. And they made Solomon, the son of David, king the second time and anointed him unto the LORD as ruler and Zadok as priest.

Na kai ana ratou, inu ana i te aroaro o Ihowa i taua ra, he nui te koa. A ka tuaruatia ta ratou whakakingi i a Horomona tama a Rawiri; whakawahia ana ia ki a Ihowa, hei rangatira; ko Haroko hoki hei tohunga.

23 ¶ Then Solomon sat on the throne of the LORD as king instead of David, his father, and was prospered; and all Israel heard him.

Katahi ka noho a Horomona ki te torona o Ihowa, hei kingi i muri i tona papa, i a Rawiri, a kake ana; rongo tonu ano ki a ia a Iharaira katoa.

24 A nd all the princes and the mighty men and all the sons likewise of King David, submitted themselves unto Solomon, the king.

Na, ko nga rangatira katoa, me nga marohirohi, me nga tama katoa a Kingi Rawiri, ngawari noa iho ratou ki te kingi, ki a Horomona.

25 A nd the LORD magnified Solomon exceedingly in the sight of all Israel and bestowed upon him such glory of the kingdom as had not been on any king before him in Israel.

A whakanuia rawatia ake a Horomona e Ihowa i te tirohanga a Iharaira katoa, homai ana ki a ia he kororia hingi, kahore nei he rite i nga kingi katoa o Iharaira i mua i a ia

26 T hus David, the son of Jesse, reigned over all Israel.

Heoi ko Rawiri tama a Hehe te kingi o Iharaira katoa.

27 A nd the time that he reigned over Israel was forty years; he reigned seven years in Hebron, and he reigned thirty-three years in Jerusalem.

Na, ko nga ra i kingi ai ia ki te Iharaira, e wha tekau tau; e whitu nga tau i kingi ai ia ki Heperona, e toru tekau ma toru nga tau i kingi ai ki Hiruharama.

28 A nd he died in a good old age, full of days, riches, and glory; and Solomon his son reigned in his stead.

Na ka mate ia, he pai tona koroheketanga, hira tonu ona ra, ona taonga, tona kororia; a ko tana tama, ko Horomona te kingi i muri i a ia.

29 N ow the acts of David, the king, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of Samuel, the seer, and in the book of Nathan, the prophet, and in the book of Gad, the seer,

Na, ko nga mahi a Kingi Rawiri, o mua, o muri, nana, kua oti te tuhituhi ki nga kupu a Hamuera matakite, ki nga kupu ano a Natana poropiti, ki nga kupu ano hoki a Kara matakite,

30 w ith all his reign and his might, and the times that went over him and over Israel and over all the kingdoms of the lands.

Me tona kingitanga katoa, me tona maia, me nga wa i a ia, i a Iharaira, i nga rangatiratanga katoa o nga whenua.
